    30 is very young! I'm sure you are just tired and feeling burned out. Get rest be healthy and is so important to take some "Me" time. Take my word for it I only started this this year and just turned 50! Makes all the difference in the world!!! :smiley:

    Try wearing skin tight pants and acting like the world revolves around you.

    proper maintenance of the flux capacitor and a good electrical storm. Having a Delorean helps too.

    This isn't what you want to hear, but it's the truth. You *aren't* in your early twenties, so you will never again look like you are. That's life. Besides, what's so great about looking like that and having people question your judgment or what you know about the world or your entitled opinions? Better off to look your age and glow with the wisdom life has already afforded you.

    Lift weights and you'll help fight the sag!

    Honestly, though, there is no way to look 20 again. Most ways older people try to look younger actually make them look even older than they are (caked on makeup, hair extensions, juniors jeans).

    Embrace who you are and be the best that you can be.

    I agree with this. Nothing wrong at all with looking your age. Usually when people try hard to look 10 years or more younger they just end up looking silly.

    Well, first off, your son is precious!! After looking at your profile and your friends list, only thing I'd suggest is to get more friends that have a more realistic view of life and what a woman should look like. :smile:

    Just a tip! Stay away from all of those fancy face washes and moisturizers they're all a bunch of hype and will drain your budget! I've been using Irish Spring ALOE on my face for over 20 yrs and these:
    This every morning and night!

    What's wrong with looking like you're in your 30's? I can't remember anything great about being in my 20's other than....I can't think of anything....oh yeah, enjoying my kids when they were young. Other than that, enjoy the skin your in and look forward to the plenty of years you have ahead.

    Sunscreen. Every. Day. Take care of yourself and use appropriate moisturizer for your skin type AND don't forget to put it on your neck, too! A lot of women neglect that and although their faces are glowing, their necks are not so much. You're never going to look like you're 20 again. People age. Age gracefully but take care of yourself and don't try too hard to cover up your flaws or your wrinkles bc as others have stated, that usually makes you look older and like you're trying too hard.

    1) buy clothes at forever 21

    2) hair style: long hair or bangs. or both.

    3) little to no makeup.

    4) stand in front of liquor stores waiting to ask someone to buy alcohol for you....for sure people will think you are still 20.

    And wear leggings with stomach-baring tops.


    But...I'm going to say..embrace 30.

    I'm 31 and one of the best things about this age is I can afford to dress like I want - irrespective of what is in fashion. Though I am wearing leggings today. But I also wear clothes that work for me and my body type and they may have been in fashion 5 years ago or 30 years ago.

    But I make it work. And a 20 something told me that on Friday too. So you know.

    I think it's all about attitude. If you act young and feel young then you will her perceived as young. Losing weight does help a lot. Since losing weight I've had people guess I was in my late 20s, most often early 30s though.

    I generally wear jeans and t shirts but if you keep your clothes un old-ladylike that helps a lot too. I've been out with people the same age and they are dressed in unflattering clothes and people assume I'm younger.

    You look great though so just enjoy life.

    Amen @Joannah700! I am 31 and I CELEBRATED turning 30! It is a fabulous age. Old enough to know who I am, have some direction and idea of what I'm doing in my career, but still feeling like I have the best years ahead of me. I DEF don't want to look like who I was in my early 20s....

    That said... yes, Sunscreen. Working out. Lots of water. And a good skincare regimen.
